Hi guys, i have a federal signal vision light bar, a smart controller and also a vision smart controller.
There is 2 cables coming from the lightbar and one "looks like a earthnet cable"
Ive tried rigging the 2 cables up to the power supply but nothing, checked all fuses nothing, no power.
I was hoping to get something flash..
tried putting the cable into the controller, but it looks like the fitting is too big,
I cant find any info on this, am i missing something?

Sorry for the noob question.

Ethernet from the bar goes to the brain, in the slot marked "Bar". The the keypad connects to the brain into the slot marked "Control". Then everything gets power and ground.

Sorry im more clear on the issue.
Its a smart siren Platinum with smart controller.
i have cat6 ethernet coming from BRAIN > CONTROLLER and it turns on the sirens fine, nice and loud.
The moment i plug the ethernet cable in from my lightbar vision to the BRAIN, nothing works, the keypad still lights up, but no siren, no lights , nothing.
I just cant get the damn lightbar to work, ive had the lights on when i power them separately with the sires so i know they work.
Ive tried programming them with the software, it even finds the controller head fine in the software, but can NOT get the lights to run.
The lightbar is a vision.

Power coming from the bar is RED AND BLUE going to red and black on my jump pack and the CAT6 is going into the BRAIN.
any ideas? Thanks

I mentioned this in another thread, the revisions on the chips for each item MUST match. So all 3 must match. You can mix a POL1.20 and a POL1.30, but you cannot mix a, lets say a NYP and a CAL. Did that make sense?

Hi guys, yes thanks alot, and thanks for the pictures. I have the correct controller and lightbar, i just ned to find that brain now.
The pic above "VISION BRAIN" what do i need to be searching for exactly, so some people selling these sell them as a part number too.
